Fascist regime blames sanction on spare parts for this crash. Either they are too stupid or think rest of the world are. This plane was made by Russia, which has not participated on any sanction against Mullahs regime. Also Caspian airline is a joint venture company between Iran and Russia, which means they could maintain the plane in Iran or Russia.

Second, they claim black boxes are too damaged to reveal information, Lie Lie Lie. These boxed are built to survive any such crashes.
